MailScanner keeps dying on my CentOS 6.2 Server

Hi List,

     I have a CentOS 6.2 Server running MailScanner 4.84.5-2 with 
mailwatch 1.1.5.1 and postfix. Almost on a daily basis I am running into 
mails that are killing MailScanner. I have captured one of the emails 
that will cause MailScanner to die. I also have the log entry to paste 
here. If anyone has an Idea where I should start looking for issues that 
would be great. One note also, I have added the -U to the 
/usr/sbin/MailScanner file as such. " #!/usr/bin/perl 
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner -U "

Once I move the offending message to /var/spool/postfix/hold I will get 
this in the logs.
